AN ENTERPRISING PAPER FOR ENTERPRISING- PEOPLE.'
NIANTIC, CONN., TUESDAY., JULY 7, 1896.
Baroness Burdett-Coutts hos re-
6tored to Oorsica the mortal reml1ins
of the island's groat patriot, Paoli.
rhey bad rested for over a century in
the churchyard 01 old St·. Pancras,
London. Tile b~nes of King Theo­dore
of Cor~ica still rest in the ceme­tery
of St. Anne's, Sobo.
'rhe Ilttention which the Federal
Governmcnt gives to the adulteration
of food& has developed some facts 01
vital importance to the public beilith
and pointed to the need of persistent
legal action .agaiust the sale of pro­visions
which do not pass the ohemical
tests of purity. According to the Gov­ernment
scientists the range of adul·
teration baa been growing wider every
year.
U is proposed to institute shower·
baths iD the Boaton Public Sohools
for the benefit of the pupils,announ088
Harper'. Weekly. The SohoolOom­mittee
has already introdncod ooo1ting
and sewing schools, but it shrinks'
from undert.aking to estab-=h baths..
To one who has not investigated tbtl
eubJect t.he idea is one which could
best be carried out by a maternal
government. The practical diftlon~ties
in looking after the bathing of" large
number of children eeem great, but
the idea is novel and progressive.
It would be a great advllntage to the
farmers and tho millers of the Unitsd
States if the wheat dour habit could
be introduced inte Ohina, Japan and
other countries of the East. Whi1&
dour is the largest i~em of export at'
present with the exoeption ' of kero­lene
oil, it i. used only by foreigners.
The natives .tick to rice. The exports
of dour to Ohina, including the Britisli
oolony of Hong Kong, average about
600,000 barrels a year, valued at 82"
000.000. The exports to JapaD ar~
about 76,000 barrels, valned at $200, •

A Child's Wonderlul Memory.

a human phonograph. Every word of
a conversation-no matter bow long­names,
dates, 6gures and bits of ora·
tory of all degreee of merit, songs ADd
jokee spoken iD her presence, she is
able to recall, word for word. even
though it be weeks and m:lntba after.
At her age-for she is only four years
old-much that she hears no doubt is
qUite' nnintelligible to her. She aim­ply
repeats everything from memory
witbout knowing aught of the text of
·her words. At the Hotel Crellin,
where she lives with her parents, she
is the idol and :wonder of all who know
her, for she is as pretty as sha is clev­er.
The first time that the child
showed her phenomenal trait was at
the age of eleven months. At that
time she waa taken to see one of
Hoyt's plays at the Macdonongh The­atre.
Upon returning to her home
she surpriaed everyone by repeating,

eongs.

Pawning Dogs.
Even dogs are pawned in New York,
"rites a correspondeDt. In a place
on TwentY'eighth street a louely pug
separated from his fellows gazed wist­fully
at customers yesterday. "How
much for that one?" asked a straDger
as he poiDted toward the pUR'. "Can't
sell him until Monday night," replied
the bird and dog dealer. The man
wanted to know why, and he was in­formed
tbat tbe pug was in pawn, and
If it wllsn't redeemed prior to the
time mentioned he would be sold.
"Thllt pug has beeD hocked three times
and has always been redeemed. How
much do I loan on him? A dollar's
the limit, sir. as pugs are no longer

of the island's groat patriot, Paoli.

'rhe Ilttention which the Federal
Governmcnt gives to the adulteration
of food& has developed some facts 01
vital importance to the public beilith
and pointed to the need of persistent
legal action .agaiust the sale of pro­visions
which do not pass the ohemical
tests of purity. According to the Gov­ernment
scientists the range of adul·
teration baa been growing wider every
year.
U is proposed to institute shower·
baths iD the Boaton Public Sohools
for the benefit of the pupils,announ088
Harper'. Weekly. The SohoolOom­mittee
has already introdncod ooo1ting
and sewing schools, but it shrinks'
from undert.aking to estab-=h baths..
To one who has not investigated tbtl
eubJect t.he idea is one which could
best be carried out by a maternal
government. The practical diftlon~ties
in looking after the bathing of" large
number of children eeem great, but
the idea is novel and progressive.
It would be a great advllntage to the
farmers and tho millers of the Unitsd
States if the wheat dour habit could
be introduced inte Ohina, Japan and
other countries of the East. Whi1&
dour is the largest i~em of export at'
present with the exoeption ' of kero­lene
oil, it i. used only by foreigners.
The natives .tick to rice. The exports
of dour to Ohina, including the Britisli
oolony of Hong Kong, average about
600,000 barrels a year, valued at 82"
000.000. The exports to JapaD ar~
about 76,000 barrels, valned at $200, •

a conversation-no matter bow long­names,

where she lives with her parents, she

her, for she is as pretty as sha is clev­er.
The first time that the child
showed her phenomenal trait was at
the age of eleven months. At that
time she waa taken to see one of
